Living Dead's

Chapter 48 - Survival

The two vehicles slid to the end of the road, the shadow slowly shrinking until it could no longer be seen by them.

Those left behind do not feel resentful or resentful at all, because they know that the vehicle cannot fit everyone, because there is a limit to its capacity. In addition, they also carry at least a little supply so that space becomes increasingly limited.

Other than Han Yu's civilians, the others already knew each other. Han Yu was a young man without a home and had already lost his entire family. So, had he not been asked to stay by Xi Zihe, he would have volunteered.

At that moment, a lighted signal illuminated the sky.

It was a zombie beacon mark had already entered the 500-meter zone.

Everyone becomes alert. The six of them started burying the remaining nitrocellulose right in front of the factory dormitory.

Shen Yuan exhaled a cold breath, he shone a flashlight towards the north. The dark view looks haunting. The stench from the zombies had approached them, and they could smell it clearly.

In the absence of Xi Zihe, Wen Fan took over to lead their small group. He leaned towards the other five people, and said. "Everyone, I don't seem to have time to say sentimental words right now. Let's run!"

Just as he finished speaking, a loud explosion occurred nearby. The zombies had entered an area filled with mines, triggering an earth-shattering explosion!

Wen Fan swore, as he watched the movie, it should be at times like this that the protagonist uttered sentimental and heroic words. Yet at this moment he did not even have time to speak and directly ran towards the dormitory building!

The six of them rushed in and locked the iron door. As if it was lacking, they added items to seal it.

In a dark night like ink, a race of life and death with time ensues.

On the northern highway, explosions were continuously occurring, and the zombie army was staggered towards a clear goal. Rows of bodies destroyed by the explosion fell into the street, creating a tapestry-like shape made of rotten flesh and the black blood of zombies.

Even more zombies roared and groaned, walking towards the factory dormitory on the meat rug. One by one, they looked tireless.

Far away from there, from the direction of city C, endless hordes of zombies moved, looking like a huge wave.

The six of them watched the waves of zombies getting closer and closer from the second-floor window. Seeing how many zombies were, they could not help but feel the goosebumps that ran from the tip of the foot, to the tip of the head.

They subconsciously gripped the weapon they were carrying tighter, hoping to gain a little sense of security from it. They only had a few weapons, so submachine guns and assault rifles were all held by members of the special forces. Shen Yuan, Song Yi, and Han Yu only had handguns and long-barreled rifles.

"Hey..how many bullets do you have left?" Yao Yue broke the suffocating silence.

"800" Wen Fan replied by his side.

"I'm 1000" Li Yan said.

Yao Yue exhaled heavily after seeing this endless wave of zombies. He smiled and in a low voice he said to Shen Yuan, "Dad, if the time comes, please kill me with your knife."

Yao Yue was well aware of how great Shen Yuan's ability in handling knives was. So at least he wanted to die without pain.

Shen Yuan answered him firmly. "I'm not going to do it, and I'm not planning to die here either."

Is correct. He had never imagined death in this place. The reason Xi Zihe let him stay was probably because he was the most rational person despite being in the most critical situation. He would be able to guide Wen Fan who had a soft heart and had a hard time making a decision.

Shen Yuan continued, "If you don't believe me, at least trust your Captain. He'll definitely pick us up."

Yao Yue felt comforted by his words, and the burden of her heart became felt slightly lighter.

Not only Yao Yue, Shen Yuan's words also raised another mental state, they would definitely not die here.

Dragging their feet, moans and screams from the first wave of zombies tore through the night sky, and they rushed towards the crack in the collapsed wire fence on the north side of the factory.

There were too many zombies, and what was left of the wire fence could not withstand the zombie attacks. The fence immediately collapsed under the onslaught of the crowding zombies. The zombies flanked the factory, and came from all directions!

However it only held them off for a while before they started to arrive back.

Li Yan gave a cue to all of them to aim at the zombies from the second floor window.

"Now! Shoot it!"

Their rifles produced a hail of bullets, and a large number of zombies that approached the iron door fell down.

However, these high-pressure weapons were limited, whereas the zombies were limitless. Even more zombies tirelessly lunged forward, and the door became heavier and heavier. The items they used to prop up the door started to shake and were pushed back.

Bang out! Bang out!

They looked anxiously. As the door began to curve, Wen Fan ran towards him, "I'll hold it back again!"

Shen Yuan immediately roared towards him. "No! Wen Fan, come back!"

However, after a very loud bang, the iron door was forced to open!

The iron door was pushed apart from its hinges. Wen Fan who was right in front of him couldn't dodge. The iron door fell on his right leg!

"Aaarrghh" Wen Fan shouted out from his throat.

"Wen Fan!"

Li Yan aimed his machine gun towards the wide-open door, blocking the zombies trying to grab Wen Fan.

Shen Yuan nimbly grabbed him, dragged him out from under the iron door, and directly carried him on his back.

After getting Wen Fan they immediately retreated and ran back to the second floor.

Yao Yue was stunned to see Wen Fan's state, he immediately scolded her, "Why did you run to the door like a madman?! Now are your legs okay?!"

Wen Fan did not reply, but rather Shen Yuan. "Not good. His right leg is broken."

Shen Yuan gasped for breath as she climbed the stairs carrying Wen Fan on her back. He was already no longer young, to carry a load of over 70 kilograms was extremely excessive for his body.

Song Yi looked at the sweat on Shen Yuan's forehead couldn't help but say, "Dad, let me bring Wen Fan."

Shen Yuan, "Not needed. Your shooting skills are better than mine."

Finally they made Shen Yuan who was holding Wen Fan.

After seeing the tribulation of his friends, Wen Fan could only regret his stupidity. "I'm sorry.."

Now he's a burden, and it's possible he'll endanger someone else's life. In a heavy voice he said, "Please, just leave me here."

Yao Yue, "Shut up, you idiot!"

Li Yan, "Close your mouth, you son of a bitch!"

Moments like this, Song Yi was reminded of her senior. He didn't want to see his friend die again. "We're not leaving you."

Han Yu recalled his family who was already absent, "No will."

Wen Fan's voice was decisively defeated, he could only silently obediently sit on Shen Yuan's back.

They went up to the third floor. At this moment the zombies had already flooded the lower floors of the building, and wave after wave of zombies began to arrive. Slowly they began to rise to the top.
